I don't think there's too much to prepare with right now. As I've mentioned there are very few draft magazines about at this time - usually I can find a half dozen locally. Even those in print are going to be outdated because of the free agency situation. I'll grant you more experienced guys have an advantage, but it is unusually small at this point, especially for the first few rounds.

I think if you print off the yahoo list and take a look at NHL.com you'll find that the guys picked will be pretty much following the rankings, varying only by a little bit. The lockout leveled the playing field to a very large extent.

As for the time, yes, it shows Eastern for me as well (1 hour ahead of central).

Well that's fair, but make it 30 so we can do three rounds anyway. We still have to hear from some other guys anyway, so may cancel yet. I've a funny feeling this is going to be hard to schedule this way.

If you're there, great, you have 90 seconds to make a pick. If you're not able to be there the computer picks for you.

The date gives Scott as much time as possible to move.The date gives Rob as much time as possible to prepare. Everyone drafts under the same conditions.Everyone has five weeks to prepare. I don't have to enter anything after the draft is over, leaving me with very little to do.

This isn't much different than you sending your picks to someone Scott as you can rank the guys ahead of time. It's a bit of a pain, but if you take a look at the football team I ended up with from the spawn board it doesn't do a bad job.

I'm still open to a draft here at JD but I'll want to start it sooner than later to give Scott some time to be able to check in and draft on occasion for himself. We do have a TON of time to draft here.

What night do you prefer? That night actually coincides with my High School Alumni golf tournament, so I'm bound to be slightly impaired for the draft. I'm not horribly opposed to moving it away from that day. A weeknight is fine for me too.
